Nightlife

While Lake Arrowhead offers significantly less night-time entertainment than the big city below, there are a few fun things to do after dark:

The Tudor House – The Tudor House was once known as Club Arrowhead of the Pines, which was frequented by Los Angeles’ elite. Featuring a clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis court, the facility was owned by Arrowhead Villas, who loaned it out for certain community meetings such as the PTA. Bracken Fern Manor, across the street from the club, was part of Club Arrowhead of the Pines, and is said to have been owned by the legendary mobster, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, who turned it into a gambling joint. Today, the Tudor House has been completely renovated and converted into a high-end restaurant and theater, boasting a theatrical stage with professional sound and lighting, where exciting theatrical and music events take place on a regular basis.

Blue Jay Cinema – With four screens, this theater is a great place to kick back and relax, while taking in the latest Hollywood entertainment. Since tickets are less than $12, movie night can be a simple, inexpensive way to spend quality time with the one you love.
